Create Your Idea
Develop a project that showcases your creativity, innovation, or problem-solving skills. Your idea can be a product, service, invention, prototype, business idea, community project, STEM concept, research project, creative design, or solution to a real-world problem.
You do not need to have a finished product. A thoughtful idea, poster, model, prototype, or clear presentation is welcome.
Prepare Your Presentation
Create a display that helps explain your idea. This may include a poster board, model, prototype, product sample, slideshow, flyer, drawing, or demonstration.
Participants should be ready to explain:
What their idea is
What problem it solves
Who it helps
How it works
Why it matters
What makes it creative or innovative
Showcase Your Project
Participants will display their projects at their assigned table and interact with attendees during the event.
Judges will visit participants, ask questions, and evaluate projects based on creativity, innovation, presentation, effort, and age-appropriate understanding.
